iProperty.com EXPO Attracts Big Crowds
Following the success of the iProperty.com EXPO in March 2011, iProperty.com Singapore held their second exhibition of the year on October 30 & 31 2011, attracting a record 12,000+ attendees to the Marina Bay Sands Convention Center. In the same measure of success, property exhibitors reported an astounding S$60 million worth of property sales within just 18 hours during the 2 days of EXPO.

With interest rates at historic lows, Singaporeans with high levels of cash deposits in bank accounts saw the iProperty.com Expo as a good chance to learn about the different ways of diversifying their portfolio into low-risk property investments. Although a number of attendees had limited experience in the world of real estate investing, as the only time they had invested in real estate was when they bought their own home in Singapore, the strong capital gains they had enjoyed from their home purchase prompted them to look for subsequent property investments with long-term growth potential. By attending the educational seminars geared towards first-time investors, visitors to the Expo were able to learn how to watch out for opportunities in the property market and learn the strategies of top property experts.
Jennifer K, a home-maker and first-time visitor to the iProperty.com Expo, had this to say: “I have never heard of Mohamed Ismail Gafoor (PropNex CEO) before, but he gave a really good presentation and was able to explain his points really well.”
Visitors to the Expo were also spoiled for choice, with more than 100 booths set up with by developers promoting the newest residential and commercial property launches from all over the world, ranging from 2nd homes in nearby Iskandar Malaysia, all the way to resort hotels in exotic Brazil.
The various seminar sessions also addressed the different needs of beginning investors as well as seasoned real estate agents, with topics geared toward agents scheduled during the morning, and seminars catering for the general public taking place during the afternoons on both days.

Mike C, an IT manager and seasoned real estate agent, shared his views: “The agent seminars were very interesting for learning and for keeping up with the latest property investment offerings in the local market”.
Visitors who spent most of the day at the Expo and who were experiencing hunger pangs were also not forgotten: a special area within the Expo was set aside for catering, providing a wide variety of affordable food choices, from Indian curries, Chinese roasted pork dishes, to simple wraps and salads, with something for everyone. With its comfortable chairs and roomy tables, the catering area also doubled as an impromptu location for one-on-one meetings with visitors who wanted to have more in-depth conversations over coffee with the exhibitors they met with.
A retired couple in their 60s, the Tans, remarked: “We attended the iProperty.com Expo last year and decided to come back again this year because it is always a very worthwhile use of our time. With our savings in bank deposits and earning low interest, we came to talk to a number of exhibitors and to learn more about how we can increase our investment returns. For us, the free seminars and lucky draws are also the main attractions”.
With exhibitors at the Expo reporting over S$60 million worth of properties sold over 2 days, it is clear that despite daily news of the European financial crisis, many Singaporeans still consider property an attractive investment option, particularly as a safe alternative to volatile stock markets.
